GUN – FRANCHI – ESPRIT

With Esprit Franchi brings back the double rifle, the noble gun par excellence, where style and tradition serve the hunting art. Esprit is perfect for every type of hunting: from hare to pheasant, from partridge to grouse, and especially for blind hunting. With Esprit, hunting and passion merge to become class and elegance accessible to everyone.

Among Franchi hunting guns, Esprit is the quintessential double rifle: modern and elegant in aesthetics, combining character and tradition.

The Franchi side-by-side hunting gun is quick in sudden aiming and “stabbing” shots. These features, along with the option of a short barrel, make it a double rifle also suitable for woodcock hunting. Esprit is available in caliber 12, caliber 20, caliber 28, and caliber .410 with automatic extractors, equipped with barrels of 61, 68, 71 cm in the first three calibers and 71 cm in the .410. Interchangeable 50 mm chokes, supplied with one, three, or four stars. The rib is satin-finished and concave, the front sight is a silver bead. The Franchi Esprit double-barrel or side-by-side hunting gun is also available on request with double trigger, pistol grip stock, and left-handed stock. The receiver is turtle steel, further enhanced by the round body line that gives class and simplicity to the gun. Light and handy, it stands out for the grade three oil-finished walnut stock and fore-end.

With Esprit, the tradition of the double rifle evolves and transforms into contemporary lines with perfect ergonomics, capable of giving every hunter absolute pleasure.

Like all Franchi hunting guns, the Esprit double rifle has a seven-year warranty on mechanical parts and complies with the Franchi Exclusive Style platform rules, making it the natural extension of the hunter’s arm.
